I started my journey 6 months ago in Bronx, NY, i must admit it has gone very smooth as far as with the physical part. I had to see the psychiatrist, nutritionist, cardiologist, Upper G.I, and had my blood work done. I practically finished with in a month. It's crazy how fast and easy it went. Now i am just exited, and nervous all at once, i was hoping for the date to be before my sons first birthday, and that is exactly how it happened 1 month prior to his BDAY! January 30,2013 what a way to start my year wish me luck everyone. I Am just a little confuse on how to start the liquid diet please i am open for feed backs on the liquid diet thank you.

Hi

I am from Singapore, and had started my 1st consultation in Singapore General Hospital around September last year. Happy to say that after many visits to different departments, I'm cleared to do the sleeve, and my surgeon had confirmed my op on 23Jan (less than 3 weeks) yay!

He and the dietician had given me some printouts on what I need to know & do when preparing for the surgery as well as advices on what to do after the op.

I'll attached it here as photos, but if u need better resolutions I'll scan and email you.

All to best to all of us! It's a great start for the new year!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
